tourto China, where they will spend
five years learning the Chinee
idea how to shoot.
We know of another wedding,
but it is not just ready for publica-
ton.
The school is progressing nicely,
and it would be hard to find three
better teachers than Rev. Davis,
Miss Josie Baker and Miss Maggie
Torreyson.
The NJ. E. Church is being built
rapidly and will be completed in a
month ifthe weather is good. We
will then have four church houses,
the Christian, Baptist, Methodist

GEO. c.. MILN.
Engagement Here of the Distin-
guished Tragedian in Ham
let and Merchant of
Venice.

We take especial pride in an
nouncing to-day the engagement by
the manager of the Opera House of
Geo. c. Min, the distinguished
tragedian, in two special and ex-
traordiary entertainments on Sat
urday next, October 29th.
On that evening Mr.. Min will
appear as Hamlet, one of the very
greatest characters of his extensive
repertoire, and all in which he
stands to-day almost unrivalled.
He portrays the part of the melan-
choly Dane with vivid reality SIM
ply marvellous. In this play also
Miss Adele Payn appears as Ophe-
liza, her great part. In the mad
scene Miss Payn is without a peer.
The company throughout is strong,
exceptionally SO, with Mr. w. N.
Griffith, of New York, leading and
is beautifully costumed.
SPECIAL MATINEE ENGAGEMENT.
The management have prevailed
upon Mr.. Min to appear at matt
nee also, and to make the affair en-
phatically attractive. Merchant of
Venice has been selected, with Mr..
Min as Shyloek, and Miss Adele
Payn as Portia. This entertain
ment is arranged that ladies and
youth who do not as a rule attend
evening performances may take adj
vantage of MI. Minis visit and see
him in one of the greatest dramas
ever conceived, and also that our
friends from the country may have
an opportunity to attend. Alto
gether the engagement is the dra-
matte event of the year and our
people will undoubtedly fill the
Opera House at each performance.
See advertisements for prices.

Was Looking for q Fight.

Justice Dingevon yesterday, in CONVERSE
ton with a MINER representative, ex-
planned his presence in the Branch Mint
saloon at the time Jack Rowan had the
dispute with Pete Martin, which led to the
unfortunate death OF Bussiere, as follows:
II was standing in my doorway while the
Odd Fellow procession was going by Tues
day afternoon, when this fellow Rowan
came up and began talking to me, saying
he wanted to whip somebody, and would
like anyone to file a complaint against him
before me. I paid no attention to him,
and he passed on. About half-past 9 or
10 in the evening l was going to lunch, and
Rowan was standing in the door of the
stairway leading to Robinson &
Stapleton's Office. He stepped
out on the sidewalk and remarked to me
that he was looking for that party yet. l
asked what party he meant and he replied
the party he wanted to pay a fine for. He
said he just wanted to hit him once under
the ear, and insisted on my going and TAX
ing a drink with him. To get rid of the
fellow, l consented, and took q glass of
mineral water. He and the barkeeper were
convsrsing in French in an apparently
manner, and I took advantage OF
the discussion to slip out and lea We him.
He wanted to kill someone. that was evil
dent, and I didn't want to be longer in his
company than l could avoid"

London Reportorial ENTERPRISE.

London KepOrtOrf01 Enterprise.
The London Times has not often of late dis
tinguished itself by enterprise in getting
news, but there is nc doubt of its power to
keep a bit or intelligence away from its rivals.
Lord Randolph Churchill's resignation, an
nounced exclusively by 1.-THE Thunderer," is a
late example. The young statesman drove
into Printing House square shortly after II
o'clock at night and asked to see the editor.
He was lodged with him for nearly an hour,
at the end Of which time, 10! as Mr.. Black
says in his novels, . strange thing happened.
As soon as Lord Randolph had been seen off
the premises an order was issued to lock every
door, back and front, and take the keys to the
EDITORS room. Dispatches, as they arrived
through the night, were taken in at a window
in the courtyard Not a soul, from the editor
to the printers devil, was permitted to leave
the premises on any pretext whatever. For
some hours mystery and CONSERVATION
brooded over the establishment. The secret
was till Q o'clock in the morning locked in
the breasts of the editor and two leader
writer's. The paragraph announcing the
resignation, and the articles commenting
thereon, were written and held back to the
last moment. But even then, the hour being
one at which other papers had gone to press,
the doors were still locked, and it was not till
the paper had gone to press that the doors
were unlocked.-NeHs York Tribune
